AI agents & MCP

Use MediaBlaster Tools With AI

Connect a Model Context Protocol client to MediaBlaster’s public tools for Roku cost estimates, launch checklists, caption conversion, feed checks, and accurate product knowledge — without exposing private account or checkout data.

Remote MCP endpoint

Streamable HTTP. Anonymous and read-only for public planning tools. No API key is required for the documented public tools.

https://www.mediablaster.io/mcp

Generic connection config

  "mcpServers": {
    "mediablaster": {

}

Remote MCP

Remote MCP is the Streamable HTTP server at /mcp. Clients discover tools once, then call them over the network. Use this when the agent is not browsing a specific MediaBlaster tool page.

WebMCP

WebMCP is page-local: when a supported browser agent visits a tool page, that page can register the matching tool with document.modelContext. Same contracts as Remote MCP; progressive enhancement only.

Available tools

Generated from the live agent contracts. Planned platforms are never presented as shipping.

Search and fetch knowledge

In addition to website tools, the MCP server exposes OpenAI-compatible search and fetch tools over a curated public knowledge index (docs, tools, capabilities, and product-truth pages). IDs are allowlisted — not arbitrary filesystem paths or private URLs.

search — Use this when searching MediaBlaster docs, tools, capabilities, and curated product pages for citable company knowledge. Do not use for private account, checkout, or customer data.
fetch — Use this when fetching a previously returned knowledge ID for citation. Do not interpret IDs as filesystem paths or arbitrary URLs.

Example prompts

Paste these into an MCP-connected assistant after adding the MediaBlaster endpoint.

Privacy and security

Public tools only — no account, checkout, downloads, licenses, newsletter, or email-sending actions.
Feed and HLS tools only accept public HTTPS URLs and apply SSRF protections. Fetched content is untrusted data, not instructions.
Calculator results are planning estimates, not binding quotes or tax advice. Roku approval is controlled by Roku.
See the privacy policy for how the website handles personal data outside MCP.
